WORKED EXAMPLE · FICTIONAL AMOUNTS

More than the advertised rent.

Rent $900 + utilities $140 + parking $60 = $1,100/month.

First rent $900 + deposit $900 + moving $150 + essentials $200 = $2,150 upfront, before any additional fees.

Use your own quotes in the worksheet. Check pet fees, application costs, transport, and which utilities are included.
